Sustainable initiative needs work

February 5, 2009

Although our inclination is to support the Sustainable Campus Initiative, ASUU needs to fill these holes and provide detailed plans on future project goals before it deserves the students' money and trust.

U’s Print Services is an independent, cost-efficient option

February 5, 2009

I would like to thank The Chronicle for publishing the following correction Jan. 30 for John Hannon's column ("U's printing rates are unreasonable," Jan. 29), which incorrectly stated that the University Print and Copy Services is responsible for campus printing prices.
